Ensure you use the server's Public IP address. Download the server's private key file: hpdefault.pem and try the conversion again. Please provide a copy of the error message for additional assistance.

I got it now
got 2 instances of 8 CPU and one of 4 CPU going now
I don't need to keep the windows open, do I?

screen ./fah6 -smp #

 
screen allows us to enter new commands and close PuTTy while keeping the Folding@home client running.

After the client is running hold the Ctrl key down and select a then d to detach the screen. Always detach the screen before you close PuTTy.

Enter screen -r if you need to return to the Folding@home client.

Right-click on the PuTTy window and select Close to end the session. If you Saved your Sessions you will be able to simply double-click on them when you open PuTTy. Remember to logon as root and enter screen -r to return to the Folding@home client if needed.

So just heard from Sleinous AZ1 is up as well now, can we use it? He says he just created another 8 core instance but isn't there a 20vCPU limit per account?

I sent HP an email. Access has been restored but I'm not sure if we should create more instances yet. This is the last guidance provided:

US West 2 - AZ2 - ON 1/10/2012 "We are requesting that Private Beta customers limit their instance creation to 5 instances. Overall account limits are any combination of 20 instances, 20 floating IPs, 20 VCPUs, 200 GB Ram, or 1000 GB HardDrive."

 US West 2 - AZ1 - 1/23/2012 "As previously communicated we continue to ask customers to utilize AZ2 and will provide an update here, when it is available for customer use."

Logon to hpcloud.com and select the icould icon on the right side to see the Service Status.

Overall account limits are any combination of 20 instances, 20 floating IPs, 20 VCPUs, 200 GB Ram, or 1000 GB HardDrive."

Yes you can
I'm using both AZ1 and AZ2
40 CPU cores folding away

Indeed, I tested it but deleted it straight away because we are not meant to use AZ1 until we are notified that it is open to open beta use.

I didn't know that
I've already completed 2 WUs under AZ1
Is there a way to monitor the PPD?

Calculate it.
For that you need the project number, TPF etc.. Anyways, I advise you delete your running instances on AZ1

You do not need to keep PuTTy open if you start the client with the screen command and hold the Ctrl key down and select a then d to detach the screen.

Great news from the HP Cloud Services Team.

AZ1 is now available for instance creation, so you may start utilizing it! You may use more now that AZ1 is available. You may have 40 vCPU total; 20 on AZ1 and 20 on AZ2!
